Critically ill patients lose muscle rapidly, and growth hormone promotes nitrogen retention, so the hypothesis was that it would preserve lean mass and speed recovery. About 530 patients were enrolled across the two trials. Nitrogen balance did improve. Patients nonetheless died more often, stayed longer in intensive care, and needed ventilation longer. The direction and magnitude of the harm were the same in both trials.
The amounts used were far above replacement, which has been proposed as part of the explanation.
Insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia, which worsen outcomes in intensive care; immune modulation; effects on glutamine availability; and fluid retention. No single mechanism was established, and the finding stands on the outcome rather than on an explanation. Later work on intensive insulin therapy in the same setting reinforced the glucose hypothesis.
The trials did not test lower amounts, so the shape of the risk is unknown.
That the hormone has a context in which it is dangerous, that anabolic surrogate endpoints can move while patients die, and that acute critical illness is an absolute contraindication. It is the most important safety finding in the adult literature and is stated here as such.
